Clean Snacking: Protein Packed, 3 Ingredient Dip.

This week it’s all about finding different ways to hit your protein mark while keeping things flavorful (chicken and rice all the time is no fun). This one, like several prior posts is quick and easy, with only 3 ingredients required to make it.

With Spring approaching and summer soon to follow, it’s starting to be the appropriate time for weekends out in the backyard (or “garden”) when you’re not deployed or if you’re a retired veteran. This means dominating at the grill, cracking open a few cold ones, and having something to snack on until the main course is ready.

You can still enjoy things you like, without significantly altering your lifestyle – the main thing is to keep the muscle packed on and the waistline decent looking, so you can maintain being fighting fit.

So when it comes to snacking, you can still make sure you get your protein hit, some healthy fats, minerals, and a good boost of vitamins, without sacrificing indulging your taste buds.

Here’s a quick, easy, nutrient packed dip that requires only 3 ingredients. You can serve it up with fruit or vegetables, or eat it on its own.

Enjoy.

Makes: Enough leftovers your kids will fight you for.

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Cook Time: 0 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Items Needed: A bowl. A spoon, a spatula, or a whisk (take your pick).

Almonds are packed with various nutrients and minerals, so you’re killing two birds with one stone here – eating something you’ll enjoy, and hitting your daily nutrient uptake.

You can change the consistency of this dip by altering how much nut butter you add. The more you use, the richer this gets, and vice versa.

Try pairing this dip with some sliced apples or celery (you’ll understand why I recommend this, too, if you read either book). Personally, I like it with sliced apples and a bottle of cider.
